Wade Fry, 88, a man of unwavering faith and a heart full of love, passed into heaven on July 7, 2024. Wade's legacy was his devotion to following the Lord's Great Commission, which is Jesus' command to his disciples to spread the Gospel and make disciples of all nations and his family. He brought countless people to the Lord and stood as a beacon of God's Grace—James 5:19 - 20 embodied Wade's life.
Wade's legacy lives on through his family, a strong and united unit: Dorothy J Nusbaum Fry, his loving wife; his two daughters Desiree' J Rayl and Nanette J Alkire; his son-in-law James A Alkire II; and his five grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Their unity is a powerful testament to the love and support Wade had in his life, and they continue to carry his legacy forward.
Wade, a man of dedication and commitment, proudly served his country in the Army for two years. His dedication extended to his professional life, as he worked at International Harvester for 33 years.
